âReach Up Higherâ is the brand new single from Midlands based band Black Bear Kiss.
Fresh out of the studio with their trademark upbeat, thumping, melodic style, the track seeks to shine a spotlight on the dominance of mainstream media and its influence on people.
âThe song addresses some of the big issues, both home and abroadâ, says lead singer Chris Leech. âThe press and public figures in positions of power need to understand the influence they have – their opinions should not be treated as gospel. âReach Up Higherâ is about trying to do better and not believing everything you read, especially on social mediaâ.
The single marks a change for the band, using a new studio and producer – Gavin Monaghan at Magic Garden Studios has worked with artists such as Robert Plant, Editors, The Twang and The Sherlocks. Arguably their best material to date, âReach Up Higherâ keeps the distinctive Black Bear Kiss sound but pushes the band into a new chapter. âReach Up Higherâ is available on all streaming services, along with the bandâs previous singles and EP Fighting Our Corner.
Black Bear Kiss are a high energy 5-piece indie rock band based in the West Midlands. Their sound creatively infuses a number of musical styles spanning genres from grunge to funk.
Formed in late 2016, Black Bear Kiss have consistently evolved and their unique sound of groove driven guitar riffs and anthemic style chorusâs, which has helped catapult Black Bear Kiss onto the playlists of listeners around the world.
